The others are just pre-screened, not a full application so it's a bit harder to say "you don't meet criteria" because I don't actually have a verified income, credit history or background check - just what they've said in the prescreening questionnaire. 

I like starting small so maybe a food truck in 10 or so years :)I'm currently looking for investors to do what you did except focusing on commercial residential property in Kansas City.

For the past 4 years I've been focused full-time on the niche of pre-existing non-conforming land parcels and/or land that is considered undevelopable.Basically, I focus on rehabbing lots instead of rehabbing houses and I have virtually no competition up here in the New England Area.Is anyone else here doing this?  

To determine price range, the first step is always figuring our how much you are pre-approved for; and that can vary significantly when you are looking at multi-unit properties because of the additional variable of rental income that can be included in qualifying.

But I did it pre inflation so the total cost was around $75K at the time. 

Have you been pre-approved or are you paying cash?

That's not exactly an up and coming area -- I'd research who built them - can likely find that by going to the SG County Recorded Docs site or by seeing who pulled the permits during const -- Wichita has been on a duplex building boom -- look at the tax value -- They probably have that or less in it on the build - I also doubt they were built to be quality long term -- things such as the trim/cabinets etc -- they all look like the cheapest stuff a guy could buy - if the cabinets aren't oak and there is MDF or pine trim and pre-hung doors with engineered wood jams I'd run.  2-3 yrs ago for $180k -205 or so you could buy duplexes in Maize, Kechi, Valley center all day to builders that were selling them off to investors - not worth that in that area.

It’s fun in a new country learning the way things are, the food and plants and especially the artistry.  

There is no additional "risk" on the note like a demand clause etc, but you have  extra expense in upfront one time costs and the pre-payment penalty that most programs are sold with if rates do drop as expected in the future.  

lol Stessa also does tax packages and has tons of resources on tax planning.
